Education with Purpose Take Action Conference

In the shifting landscape of education, workforce, and economic development, we owe it to the next generation to expand their options beyond college readiness alone. Individuals must be empowered to thrive in three critical areas: academic knowledge, technical competencies and professional skills. Together, these abilities create the single most important competitive advantage for long-term adaptability and success.

Delivering this vital competitive advantage is the mission of Education with Purpose. With an inspiring lineup of acclaimed speakers, facilitated planning and implementation time, networking, and much more, we will shift the national paradigm so every student can become career ready, period.

At the 2022 Education with Purpose: Take Action event, your team will be informed, inspired, and empowered to create a custom strategic plan. Through a facilitated planning process, you will:

• Experience the power of the paradigm shift and the strategies to make it a reality in your community
• Discover how to unleash the incredible potential of the younger generations
• Collaborate with colleagues from around the country as you share your plan
• Build greater understanding and gain insights from visionary organizations as they share their plans
• Showcase your own best practices and successes

The event’s unique cohort model ensures that every attendee is both a leader and a follower in the development of their plan—working together and individually to make a bigger difference in education, workforce, and economic development.

Join us and leverage the power of this national movement to inspire action within your organization and community.
